Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
  • 1/2 lb (0.3 kg) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced chipotle in adobo
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) diced pineapple
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) diced red onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) water
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) tomatillo salsa
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) micro greens or fresh cilantro
  • 8 – 4-inch corn tortillas

    • Instructions

    1. 1 Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat. Add chicken to the skillet and sear until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Add chipotle, pineapple, and red onion; sauté for 2 minutes more. Add the garlic and fry 1 minute. Add ¼ cup (60 mL) water and cook for 2-3 minutes more, scraping up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
    2. 2 Heat another small skillet over medium heat. In batches add the corn tortillas and cook for 30 seconds a side until heated and soft. Transfer to a plate and continue with remaining tortillas.
    3. 3 Arrange two tortillas per plate. Divide the filling down the center of each. Top with salsa and a sprinkle of micro greens or fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
